So after 3 years of year round abuse these poles are still kicking. I picked them up originally for snowshoeing and backcountry snowboarding. They collapse small and are very durable.
Summer time, just replace the baskets (or not, I didn't) and they helped with many approaches and still can be strapped to a backpack on a climb that doesn't require a rappel.
This season I picked up the BD Whippet and... guess what, the lowers are compatible...
